Dyson has officially launched version 2.1 of our yield maximization platform, introducing a multitude of upgrades designed to optimize the user experience. The release comes in two parts — an initial upgrade with Dyson 2.1.0, followed by a swift patch taking things up another notch with Dyson 2.1.1.

Together, these updates bring visual refinements for intuitive navigation, speedier performance, helpful tooltips, and an overall enriched experience.

Let’s exlore everything that’s new and how it stands to streamline and optimize your yield farming experience.

At the Heart of It All: The User

Dyson’s suite of updates revolves around one key focus — you, the user. The development team meticulously crafted every new feature and improvement with the singular goal of refining your journey on the platform.

On the visual front, Dyson 2.1.0 overhauls the display of vaults and strategies for maximum clarity. Tags help you grasp essential details at a glance, while simplified names streamline choices. An organized side drawer houses opened vault information to prevent clutter.

Behind the scenes, under-the-hood changes enable much faster data retrieval and page loading. By keeping up with the latest systems, Dyson paves the way for a modernized performance worthy of DeFi innovation.

Even small touches offer significant quality-of-life improvements, like mobile and tooltip enhancements that ensure the smoothness of cross-device engagement. The new “How To Get” section also offers clear instructions to users seeking to purchase deposit tokens.

Dyson 2.1.1 takes things a step beyond by introducing vault sharing capabilities. With just a click, you can copy and spread the word about your favorite yield opportunities — a revolutionary new way to engage with the wider community.

Let’s dive deeper into all the additions launching the platform into a new era of efficiency.

Dyson 2.1.0 Change Log: Intuitive and Informative

Dyson 2.1.0 focuses heavily on refining the vault interface for maximum intuitiveness. Changes span visual presentation, interactive behavior, and informational delivery.

Visual Changes:

  • Shifted the “Go To Sphere Locker” component above the page tabs.
  • Page Tab changes.
    – Removed “Deprecated” Tab. Deprecated are now only visible if a user has a deposited into them
    – Introduced “Auto-Compounding” Tabpools
    – Changed “Vaults” Tab to now display all strategies in one list
  • The Vault list has been substituted with a table.
    – Vault names have been simplified
    – Vaults are now equipped with tags that provide descriptions of their strategy, automation, network, platform and other metadata
    – Opening a vault, now opens a side drawer instead of expanding the vault
  • Updated Vault pagination to match Table design
  • Enhanced checkbox styling and behavior

Performance Updates:

  • Switched the multicall provider to a faster and more widely supported option.
    – Introduced automatic vanilla web3 fallback to ensure data is fetched in case of multicall failure.
  • Vault data is now populated as data arrives, drastically improving first print times
  • Removed IE support to improve overall performance

User Experience Updates:

  • Improved Filters:
    – Filters are now opened in a drawer to improve mobile experience
    – Improved Filter action flow
  • Introduced more tooltip messages and improved existing ones
  • Data for an opened vault is now fetched every 60 seconds, even if no actions are made, ensuring up to date information
  • Introduced ‘How To Get’ section inside the vault drawer to explain how to acquire the deposit tokens
  • Users are now asked to change their current network only when wanting to perform the action on a different network, allowing the user to view their position even if they are not connected to that network.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where user’s couldn’t deposit funds without removing some decimals.
  • Fixed a bug for Concentrated Liquidity strategies where the action button was disabled, but the user was not visually informed of an error
  • Fixed duplicating assets in filters
  • Fixed a bug for Sphere locker, where a user was not informed that they need to claim their rewards before withdrawing/relocking

Amidst the flood of new features, Dyson refuses to ignore the value of nurturing UX either. Additional tooltips guide newcomers while increased auto-refresh frequencies on opened vaults empower veterans with the latest analytics. Brief network change prompts when switching chains prevent jarring disruption too.

Altogether, Dyson 2.1.0 vault updates coalesce into a streamlined, responsive, and educational portal for managing positions. Let’s see what further magic Dyson 2.1.1 adds into the mix!

Dyson 2.1.1 Change Log: Shareable and Social

While 2.1.0 focuses on informational improvements, Dyson 2.1.1 hones in on user-powered social engagement through shareability. At its core lies a simple yet immensely impactful new feature — one-click vault sharing capabilities.

Sphere Locker:

  • Now displays a breakdown of TVL (Total Value Locked) showing the total locked Sphere token amount and its USD value.
  • Added visibility for your total locked Sphere balance in various sections:
    — Deposit section
    — Withdraw table
    — Main table

Concentrated Liquidity:

  • The TVL breakdown has been reintroduced and improved for a more visually appealing experience.

Sharing Vaults:

  • Introducing a new feature: All vaults now have a share button, making it easy to copy and share specific vaults with friends.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where vault data failed to update correctly in open vaults after the app finished loading all available vaults.

The power of people drives innovation in Web3. Now with vault sharing, Dyson further unlocks that collaborative potential across its platform.

The Road Ahead

With a smooth user journey at the core of its identity, Dyson continually sets its sights on refining and enhancing that experience. Dyson 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 signify just the next step in that journey — but rest assured, the road ahead still stretches far into the distance.

As the team reminds us, no component of Dyson ever remains static. Behind the scenes, talented developers, designers, and community leaders will continue brainstorming improvements day in and day out.

So while celebrations are certainly in order following this milestone release, they only last mere moments. Soon enough, focus returns to nurturing that symbiosis between technology and people growing ever closer towards a shared vision of innovation.
